I remember when the HRT gave some 20 year old with no touring car experience, a ride for both Sandown and Bathurst...
... sorry. That kid had previously driven a Pulsar in the 12 Hour.
I wonder what happened to him.

I back it from Triple Eight! Would have been easy for them to poach an established driver like Heimgartner, or bring on board a safe option like Tander, but instead they've gone high-risk, high-reward. Granted, Feeney might take time to develop and may not be winning straight away, but if they can get him up to speed within a couple of years, then they'll have a serious contender for future championships on their hands
Apropos of nothing... unused Holden Racing Team schemes.

My wife and I have been following yours country's lockdown... Let me just say I'm glad I'm not there. Praying for you all there.
AUS: 1053 deaths due to Covid-19 - 26m pop. = 40/m
TX: 59,138 deaths due to Covid-19 - 29m pop. = 2039/m
We have a death rate due to Covid-19 of less than 2% of that of Texas.
Being alive and being able to complain about restrictions is far more preferable than being dead. "Freedom" is useless if you are in a pine box; 6ft under.
Springtime, ice cream, and sunshine... it's awful.
I would have to agree with you on the above info - I was referring mostly about your restrictions/lockdowns, which seem to be working there. My wife and I only go out when we need to and we wear masks everywhere and take long car rides just to get out.
Re this:
Mustang - Coyote - 5.4L V8
485 kW - 650 bhp
620 Nm - 457 ft.lb
max 7500 rpm
Camaro - LTR - 5.7L V8
485 kW - 650 bhp
620 Nm - 457 ft.lb
max 7500 rpm
This answers NASCAR's question, doesn't it? 550 package? 750 package? Nah... 650 everywhere and be done with it. It's fine.
How good do these look!!!! If they race nearly as good as they look, then we're in for an awesome next decade or so of racing
Also Happy Bathurst weekend to all
Nobody saw this coming:

PremiAir Racing owner Peter Xiberras admits there are many decisions to be made for his new-look squad, just six weeks out from the season-opening Repco Newcastle 500.
Team Sydney bosses Jonathon and Kobe Webb confirmed on Thursday that Xiberras had purchased the squad’s two Racing Entitlement Contracts.

It's a pretty sad state of affairs when Supercars teams are being traded under anti-dilution regs. This is not growing the sport at all.
The last genuinely new team that entered the category was Triple Eight Race Engineering in 2003; that's sad.

Bathurst 2022.
Triple Eight Race Engineering:
97 - van Gisbergen/Tander
88 - Feeney/Whincup
...
er...
This means that Lowndes apart from being a free agent, has nowhere to go at Triple Eight.
I wanna know, does Lowndes end up back at WAU with Mostert?

Maybe Ryan Newman should apply !!!
This is something I don't get. 'Murica has loads of drivers and in theory enough of a GT3 program to smash everyone else in the world.
Can you imagine Newman, Junebug, Bowyer, Gordon, Johnson in a GT3 Camaro at Bathurst or Spa or Suzuka? I can.
Yeah I don't get why you don't see it more. But to be fair, you don't see it a lot for other big races across the world either. I just don't think Americans like to travel overseas
